Overview

Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of ventricular tachycardia. VT causes approximately half of the 300,000 sudden deaths which occur out of hospital annually in the US. Brugada syndrome is thought to be the cause of half of the sudden cardiac deaths which occurs in young individuals without structural heart disease.

Epidemiology

  • Age
  • The prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number or range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
  • In [year], the incidence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number or range] cases per 100,000 individuals in [location].
  • Age
  • Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
  • [Disease name] is more commonly observed among patients aged [age range] years old.
  • Ideopathic Ventricular tachycardia is more commonly observed among elderly patients.
  • Gender
  • [Disease name] affects men and women equally.
  • Females are more commonly affected with ideopathic VT than men.[1]
  • The [gender 1] to [Gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.
  • Race
  • There is no racial predilection for [disease name].
  • [Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race.
  • [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].
